ABOUT CPCW
The role of CPCW is to support contractors to maximise income through the consistent delivery of high-
quality NHS and locally commissioned services for the benefits of the patient
Who are CPCW?
• A local organisation for community pharmacy across Cheshire and Wirral
• The 15 members are community pharmacists who are representative of all sectors of community pharmacy
including multiple and independent which are located in all trading environments for example supermarkets,
high streets, villages
• We are concerned with all aspects of NHS primary care that are relevant to community pharmacy
• LPC’s must be consulted on
o New contract applications, applications for contract relocations, etc
o Impact analyses for Local Pharmaceutical Services (LPS) bids
o Any NHS England decision to require a pharmacy to change its hours
o Conditions for Enhanced Services
• LPC’s expect to be (and are) consulted on all issues relevant to contractors, such as:
o Any arrangements affecting pharmacy services
o Changes to local NHS structures – LIFT etc
o Arrangements for monitoring the pharmacy contract
• We work with NHS England, CCG’s, Local Authorities and other healthcare professionals to influence policies
and decisions and to help plan services for the benefit of patients
• We seek to identify and access additional local funding for pharmacy services
Practical information worth a mention
• The LPC meets 9 times a year
o Agendas for the upcoming meetings are shared on the LPC website approximately a week before the
meeting
o Once ratified a copy of the LPC minutes are uploaded to the website
o Observers are welcome to attend any of the LPC meetings – you just need to contact the LPC office
• The LPC is supported by a team including a Chief Executive Officer, two Pharmacy Services Managers, an
Engagement Officer and a Business Support Officer
• The LPC circulates a weekly newsletter to over 500 recipients (sign up information on Page 6)

PHARMOUTCOMES
Most locally commissioned service claims are recorded on PharmOutcomes and every pharmacy in Cheshire East has
unique log-in details. Things to note:
• The administrator using this default log-in can set up individual log-ins for staff members;
• If you have been provided with different personal log-ins for a number of different pharmacies, ask the
PharmOutcomes Helpdesk about setting up “Switching Identities”; this will allow you to use a single user
name and password but then select the appropriate pharmacy from a list.
To record on PharmOutcomes:
• Go to www.pharmoutcomes.org.uk
• Log in (or select “Help” if needed)
o Any messages are displayed on the Home Page
• Select the “Services” tab
• Accredited services for the pharmacy are listed on the left-hand side in orange
o Click on the appropriate service to create a new record
• Recent Provisions are listed in the centre/right in Blue
o These can be re-opened/edited by clicking on them
o Editing information will over-write existing information
o Editing after status has changed to “claimed” will not change payment details
• Outstanding Referrals are shown above Recent Provisions
o Click on the Referral for information about the patient/reason for referral
o Completing the action associated with the referral will move the referral from the top of the screen
to the “Recent Provisions” section
The LPC has developed a getting started with PharmOutcomes guide that staff new to PharmOutcomes may find
useful and can be accessed from the LPC website at https://www.cpcw.org.uk/community-pharmacy-cheshire-wirral-
lpc/cpcw-consultation-and-communication/pharmoutcomes/
